Blog: Getting Buried Alive

So I'm standing on my front lawn of my house wondering how two months after I had an idea in my car about going on a journey to becoming comfortable being uncomfortable, Campbell Live, RadioWorks, The NZ Herald and the Nelson Mail and a gathering of co-workers and friends, are here to watch me get buried alive. It almost seems surreal, I still feel like the same old Grant. Then it suddenly hits me, no I'm not, I've changed. I am now super confident, I feel like a changed person. Somewhere on this journey and I can't quite put on finger on where, I have become comfortable being uncomfortable. I don't have the same scared feelings I did at the start of the month.

I can not describe the feeling of lying in a coffin in the pitch black and hearing the sound of dirt being shovelled on top. Being buried alive is not something that I will be racing again to do in a hurry however now that I have done it I feel I can do anything. I truly believe that if I put my mind to it I could achieve anything that I want, and that is a feeling I could never buy anywhere!

I'm so tired after doing it now and the excitement of all the media. I'm gonna spend some time with the kids tonight and then bet ready for the skydive and strip tomorrow night.

Life is awesome! If you've been following this journey with me then by now you will know the importance of stretching yourself and moving forward to achieve your goals.

So 30 fears... what's on your list?
Grant

P.S. You can listen to me being buried on the home page.
